He's made a lot of money in the NBA (close to 20 million). Hopefully he has properly saved and invested. Assuming he has, I'd imagine the offer to go overseas has to be pretty good to make it worth his while.

Plus, he will get lots of playing time, which makes life more fun. Typically they also get lots of perks like a car and an apartment - assuming he takes his family with him, it's a good place for a family to be.

Although Shelving did make between 18-20 million, he was one of a few athletes that about 5-6 years ago had money taken from him by a less than desirable agent/business associate. I do believe though it was around the time when
He had only made around 5 million as the first 4 years he only made around $6 million and the other 12 million or so came in years 2015-2019.

That is true, I think he got "some of it" back after the court case, but it was a bad situation.
